The Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has solicited stronger ties and better cooperation between Nigeria and the United States. This is just as Abbas assured the new American ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, of support by the 10th House of Representatives and the National Assembly by extension.
Ambassador Mills led a delegation of US Embassy officials on a courtesy call to the Speaker. On his entourage were Cassandra Carraway and Melissa Jones. The Speaker said it was his pleasure to have the “newest ambassador of the United States of America visiting us today.” He thanked the US delegation for the visit “to discuss our common interests—between the United States of America and Nigeria.
” Speaker Abbas called for “more, deeper ties, deeper cooperation and more mutually beneficial relationships.” He said: “I have no doubt that you are the right man coming at the right moment to turn around the wonderful relationship between America and Nigeria. You can count on us for every support that you need to succeed.” Earlier, Ambassador Mills said the visit was to talk to the Speaker about his priorities and those of the House.
